Cape Capricorn

A good day today for a number of reasons....
- we didn't leave at the crack to dawn (yippee)
- we left the marina calmly and under control (almost looked like we knew what we were doing)
- the weather was gorgeous
- the sea was calm
- we had bottled nosed dolphins riding the bow (albeit briefly)
- and we only travelled for 4 hours instead of the usually 8!

So we were well and truly anchored for lunch and had time to enjoy the anchorage at Cape Capricorn. Cape Capricorn is on the Tropic of Capricorn, so when we leave here tomorrow we leave the Tropics :(
There is a lighthouse on the Cape which is now unmanned and the old lighthouse keeper houses are now rented out for holidays. It's a lovely spot with amazing sand drifts on the hills.
